To manipulate a color, first select the color from the preset color list at the bottom of the window
or create a new color (press <img src="btn_new_color.gif"> on the preset toolbar). If you do not
have a preset selected, you may freely manipulate the current color but it will not be saved unless you
explicitly create a preset.

<h5>To manipulate the selected color, you may do one of the following:</h5>
<ul>
<li>Directly manipulate the color component (RGB) values by adjusting the scrollbars or changing the edit
box values. Each component must be in the range 0 to 255.</li>
<li>Use the Color->Manipulate menu. To see more information on this menu, <a href="menu.html">click here</a>.</li>
<li>Select a common color from the Color->Common menu. To see a list of the common colors, <a href="common colors.html">click here</a>.</li>
<li>Select an intermediate value between the two gradient extremes by clicking in the gradient area.</li>
<li>Change the hexadecimal value near the bottom of the main window... the format is #RRGGBB.</li>
<li>Select a color from the screen by clicking and dragging the screen color picker button (<img src="colorpicker.gif" align="absmiddle">).</li>
</ul>
